This Is What An Idiot Looks Like
"Paul - life's too short to hold vendettas, you've just got to forget about it"
Yes the above statement is very true but there are certain things from the past that I will never forget, I chose to write this blog and post the video included in it because the individual involved thinks that he can say what the fuck he wants about anyone he wants, he can't. Since this video was posted the fool slowly realised that he got everything he said about me very very wrong.
He thinks deleting the videos and forgetting about them makes everything alright .... it doesn't. He uploaded hours of slander about me and the Nexus brand, following this all his redneck followers jumped onboard making disgusting comments that really showed just how ignorant, thick and nasty they all are. The moral of the story is simple, if you don't know what you're talking about it's best to keep your big fat mouth shut.
Those out there with an actual brain who follow my videos and blogs will know that the settings that I demonstrate in all my unmasking videos are the exact same settings I use when I go hunting. I've shown countless times that I will disc out one specific nail, keeping the discrimination as low as possible and that is how I hunt. For people that claim this isn't possible don't understanding how to metal detect, their perception has been warped by the thoroughly average tech detectors.
The laughable thing about the video below is, with each desperate attempt he makes to try and make me look like an idiot, he's actually demonstrating his complete lack of understanding when it comes to operating a totally manual analog metal detector. Since this video was made him and his little mate that like to look upon themselves as the official YouTube testers of all the "turn on and go, digital automated machines" got a prototype Nexus in their hands and showed very clearly that they had no fucking clue how to operate it if their life depended on it.
With everything going on in my personal life some might wonder why I'm wasting my energy on this shit, all these videos were uploaded the week I got the news my wife's cancer had spread to her liver and bone marrow. The prick, via email, insinuated that I might be lying about my wife's terminal illness. I will never forget the actions of this prick.
I neither own nor do I think it’s likely I could ever justify the expense of a Nexus machine, or a Deus 2 for that matter, certainly not new anyway. However, I am open minded enough to respect Paul and his deep understanding of the machines he chooses for the purposes he’s uses them, unlike our American cousin.
ReplyDeleteI own and use an analogue machine and often detect alongside others with digital machines, many of whom frequently ask me to swing my coil over their potential find before they dig. This is because analogue machines in general offer far more nuanced sound even within a single tone than many digitally filtered machines, analogue offering an inflection if you will forgive the term when passed over different objects in the ground. Instead of hearing just digitally filtered tones, with analogue sound one hears what the coil and machine tells the ‘listener’ about the object if one takes the time and has the patience to learn. The modern digital machine seeks to circumvent this learning process as the detecting demographic has changed enormously in more recent years to the ‘treasure hunter’ as opposed to the ‘detectorist’. The former seeks instant gratification and often lives through and can only understand such interaction with a screen. Detecting and the selling of detectors is a marketeers dream, it feeds and thrives on sowing the seed of doubt in the potential customers mind. Gaining experience with a machine that talks to you, one you come to understand as the relationship develops naturally becomes richer and more rewarding. Let’s face it, that’s no good to any manufacturers marketing department strategy or company profits is it? That precludes selling machine after machine to the same person and millions of others, for if you’ve not chosen to fall for their peddled false doubt in the machine or machines you have, that’s results in sales losses doesn’t it. Technology has created laziness, the craving for instant gratification and this with the engineered constant competition between folk, even good friends about just about everything in their lives, a craving of some sense of superiority drives sales. Therefore short term interest and distrust in any machine we already use is so heavily peddled it has become normal and accepted when in reality, this has only served to diminish the relationship or understanding we have in it, each other and this hobby. When I go detecting with folk, I want them to enjoy the day just as much as I do, to find as many interesting artefacts and connections with history, don’t you? If you don’t, make no mistake you are falling for their nonsense. None of this sentiment sells us crap though does it, so we are continually and aggressively marketed yet another falsehood, that contentment equals failure and that leads to more spending and more profit for fat cats and marketers but frighteningly more debt for the masses. It appears to me that Paul is not driven by the need for instant gratification and screen interaction or to influence anyone other than to educate that analogue detectors have their place. After all he’s demonstrated the skilled and experienced use of many different analogue detectors, not just Nexus. It’s your choice to either agree or not with Paul’s findings, but first scrutinise your own agenda our loud shirted and bitter friend. Who ever you are and wether you chose digital or analogue and however you profess to knowing it all try to be happy with your machine and the results and be prepared to accept we are all learning all the time, or we ought to be. Please don’t justify your decisions by demonstrating aggressive hateful behaviour and resentment in others like Paul that do take the time to understand a machine that doesn’t massage their ego right out of the box! Be persuaded by the marketing of ever newer machines if you will, but be prepared for the emptying of your pockets, increasing debt and the constant dissatisfaction that awaits you. Just use and enjoy what you have.
The funny thing is even though neither of the You Tube testers really knew much about using the Nexus, they both were amazed by the results. The reason both of them got rid of the Nexus was simply because neither had the patience needed to master this type of machine. Iffy was honest about it at least and said he just preferred using the digital machines and didn't care to put in the time needed to master the Nexus. The fat slob realized that The Nexus would expose his simple-minded skill set and just got rid of it and his videos trying to use the Nexus. The video that I watched showed the Nexus hitting about 7" deeper than his digital machines. He was amazed but that was the end. Never to be spoken of again. Honestly, I am glad because he ruins everything with his mouth.
ReplyDeletePersonally, I don’t believe his rotund stature is connected with either his detecting ability or knowledge and we simply don’t know if he’s a slob or not. To apportion these attributes to this disagreement is simply a manifestation and an attempt to justify one’s feelings, mainly to one’s self about a strong disagreement of opinion. He is equally accusatory, unkind and basing comments on factors he neither knows for sure or perhaps even understands. Do you see how insidious this manufactured illusion of competition with one another is, how it self perpetuates, grows, causes anger and division within a community? How it so easily divides any group of like minded individuals all in the name of greed and profit and even more dangerously, some idea of self worth? How it has resulted in extremely unkind and unforgiving behaviour, hurt and bad feeling about something as innocuous as metal detectors for goodness sake? I’ve watched Paul use analogue detectors with accomplished skill, seen their ability to unmask, demonstrate rapid recovery speed, often at depth as you’ll know if you use one as I do. He has demonstrated this with a number of analogue machines, not just Nexus, openly says he uses and has used a range of popular digital machines to great effect but clearly favours analogue for the type of searching he does, how his mind works and the for reward of learning to use such machines to great effect. He has gotten pleasing results, located find after find in challenging environments and has taken it upon himself to show others that analogue machines have their place. Isn’t that what all detecorists want from this hobby irrespective of the machine they use? So what on earth is all the fighting and nastiness about then? Well, I think we already covered that didn’t we? Paul, you have my respect and that of many others I’m sure. If our American cousins want to play the pointless pocket emptying game that we have many have been suckered participants in from time to time, leave them to it and pay it no mind. Reserve such passion and brain space for the things that matter, enjoying this hobby as it once was before aggressive marketing got in the way, for the machines we get the most out of, finding connections with thought provoking history. But most important of all, reserve it for those you love and care for and care for you, not this argumentative manufactured nonsense. Best of luck to you and yours Paul.
